Goodbye 'Racial Democracy'?Brazilian Identity, Official Discourse and the Making of a 'Black' Heritage Site inRiodeJaneiro
This article explores the racial thinking in Brazilian governance exposed during the creation of a Circuit of African Heritage in the port area of Rio de Janeiro from 2011 on. The Circuit and the policy discourses that have surrounded its establishment are visibly framed within a philosophy of ethno-racial recognition and multiculturalism, which apparently suggests a rupture from the long-established discourse of mixture and racial democracy in B…

Campos do pós-abolição: Identidades laborais e experiência "negra" entre os trabalhadores do café no Rio de Janeiro (1931-1964)
Este artigo explora se e como sinais de uma experiência afro-brasileira vieram à tona durante a existência do SCEC, um sindicato de carregadores e ensacadores de café que prosperou no porto do Rio de Janeiro entre 1931 e 1964 Apesar da forte presença de trabalhadores afrodescendentes no SCEC, o legado negro estava em grande parte ausente do discurso oficial do sindicato, que, em vez disso, colocava a ênfase na classe, no nacionalismo e em outros …
Por onde os africanos chegaram: O Cais do Valongo e a institucionalização da memória do tráfico negreiro na região portuária do Rio de Janeiro
Este artigo tem por objeto o processo de institucionalização e patrimonialização da memória da diáspora africana na região portuária do Rio de Janeiro, através de uma reflexão sobre as ações e representações em torno do sítio arqueológico Cais do Valongo, antigo cais de desembarque de cativos africanos. Procuramos compreender como, num determinado contexto, alguns grupos de atores chegam a consensos que favorecem a institucionalização da memória …
Those Stones Speak: Black-Activist Engagement with Slavery Archaeology in Rio de Janeiro
This article explores the recent process of engagement by black activists with the archaeological heritage of slavery in the port region of Rio de Janeiro. Black Brazilian social movements have made little political reference to collective memory of enslavement in the past. A change has occurred over recent years in Rio de Janeiro with the archaeological discovery of a slave trade wharf in a landfilled area of the port. As a result of this findin…
From Racial Mixture to Black Nation: Racialising Discourses inBrazil's African Affairs
The article links reflections aboutBrazilian race relations with institutional transnational dialogues betweenBrazil and 'Africa'. I point out that although racial/cultural mixture and the 'brown' census category have traditionally reflected much of national identity inBrazil,Brazil today is increasingly spelling out its blackness, both on the national and international scenes. I highlight that, not by coincidence, this fact is happening at a his…

A voice for the past: Making 'public' slavery heritage in Rio De Janeiro
This article discusses the first steps of slavery heritage making in the port region of Rio de Janeiro, after the prolonged institutional forgetting of the city’s slave past. The material presented shows that this slavery memorialisation interweaves with the contemporary flourishing of affirmative action in favour of Afro-descendants in Brazil, which aims to redress historically-rooted social inequalities and to include ‘minorities’ in the nation…
Race and Affirmative Action: The Implementation of Quotas for "Black" Students in a Brazilian University
In 2003, some Brazilian public universities began to reserve a percentage of their posts (quotas) to “black” students, allowing them to be accepted with lower scores at the admission exam. These type of policies became common during the last decade as a way to fight against social inequalities, but have also become the object of public disagreement due to its potentially “racializing” character. The present article engages with the racial-quota d…
Nerds and Barbarians: Race and Class Encounters through Affirmative Action in a Brazilian University
This ethnographic article discusses how race emerges between discourses of class and space at the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Following a legal decision, this academic institution was required to implement racial quotas to combat social exclusion and raise the number of 'black' students in public higher education. A crucial question is whether such racially based policies help redress social inequalities, or whether they actually i…
